Chapter 167 Patriarchal Thoughts
Victory Commune...

"Hey, why are the female educated youths better than the male educated youths this time? They are all delicate and fragile. What kind of farm work can they do?"

Song Shuanzhu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw a large group of educated youths getting off from two passenger cars carrying big and small bags.

I thought to myself, the last time we assigned two female educated youths, this time, the money officer has to assign us two male educated youths, even if we assign female educated youths, they have to be as capable as the young educated youths.

Unfortunately, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

On the side, the captain of the Xihegang Production Brigade heheed twice: "Then don't think about it, city people are just like us country people, sons are more important than daughters."

"These educated youths are generally [-] or [-] years old. If an older brother gets married and the family has no conditions to live in, the daughter will have to make room."

He also occasionally listened to the two educated youths in his team when chatting with them.

Some families even insisted on enrolling their daughters to go to the countryside for the sake of settling-in expenses.

You know, the dowry money received by a daughter when she gets married is not as much as the settling fee.

What's more, after going to the countryside, I can ask my daughter to send food to the family to subsidize the family. It would be nice to let them return to the city when the daughter reaches the age of marriage, which kills two birds with one stone.

However, what they didn't expect was that starting next year, the city's sub-district office would allocate a quota for all families with many children to go to the countryside every year.

Song Shuanzhu suddenly realized that the life of the people in the city was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface.

But they eat commercial food, they get money tickets every month, and they don't live in earth-embryo houses, so we rural people are still incomparable with other Chengli people.

"Hey, let me say, Captain Song, why did you drive a carriage to pick up people? That iron bump?"

"That's right, don't pick and search in front of those city people, just knock it off."

When Song Shuanzhu heard this, his face immediately became ugly, and he sighed: "Don't mention it, that shit is broken at this critical moment of spring plowing, and the repairman just went out to study."

"Hey, your team has opened up a lot of wasteland in the past two years. If there is no tractor, it will delay the old nose."

"Who says it's not? If it doesn't work, spend a little more money to go to the county to ask a maintenance worker to come and have a look. It won't slow down the process of spring plowing."

The captains of several brigades crouched in a corner of a leeward wall with their arms folded, discussing with one another.

The tractor broke down, and Song Shuanzhu was more anxious than anyone else. After learning that the repairman was not in the commune yesterday, he was so anxious that he started to burn overnight.

Hearing what people said now, I immediately decided to go to the county seat tomorrow morning.

"Comrade Zhou Lingling, Comrade Chen Guoxing, two educated youths, Laolongmiao production team."

"Comrade Meng Xiujuan... wait for four educated youths, Xihegang Production Brigade."

"Comrade Gu Yanze, Comrade Kong Jiao... and six other educated youths, Dahewan Production Brigade."

……

……

Zhou Lingling, who was standing among the group of educated youths, immediately frowned when she heard that she was not assigned to Dahewan like in her previous life.

Could it be because I came a year earlier than my previous life?

Meng Xiujuan, who was in the crowd not far away, turned to look at Kong Jiao beside her disappointedly and eagerly: "Jiaojiao, what should we do, we are not assigned to a production team."

It's not that she will be afraid when she is alone in a new environment, but that she doesn't have much luggage for herself at home, and the money and tickets are pitiful, so she needs to buy everything by herself.

The two bus rides in the morning were tickets bought by Kong Jiao. If he didn't take advantage of this benefactor, his life would be miserable in the future.

Kong Jiao didn't even look at Meng Xiujuan, she directly replied with a strong oath: "There is nothing to worry about, after the officer has assigned all the people, we can find him to change it."

Meng Xiujuan's face immediately showed joy, and she complimented her like a dog: "Yeah, why didn't I think of it, you are still smart, Jiaojiao."

Kong Jiao is not stupid, on the contrary she is very shrewd. For this classmate who has been flattering herself since she was a child and often taking advantage of her, and is also Brother Meng's cousin, how could she not know what she has in mind at this time.

It's just that she needs this kind of jumping clown by her side, and her purpose this time is to make her time in the country better before she gets the specific address of Brother Meng.

Kong Jiao is thinking of switching here, and Zhou Lingling is thinking the same way.

In my last life, I got married and had children in Dahewan for nearly ten years, and I am very familiar with the people and environment there, and there are no local ruffians and bullies.

If I remember correctly, Dahewan was powered on in 1970. The other brigades in the vicinity were too poor to pay for it because of discord, so they were delayed by five or six years.

Moreover, Dahewan has the best living conditions and reputation in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, so even if she doesn't want to take revenge, that is her final choice.

……

In the surrounding area, a dozen or so captains who had squatted in several piles saw that the commune officer had allocated the people, so they stood up quickly and stomped their numb legs and feet.

They all walked to their respective ox carts or carriages, and began to yell loudly:
"The educated youth from the Laolongmiao production team are here."

"The educated youth of Xihegang..."

…………

Song Shuanzhu told the following horsemen to keep an eye on the horse, and not to be disturbed by the noise of these old men, then he took a few steps forward and said softly: "Brother ..."

"Uncle Song."

A somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Song Shuanzhu, startled him and immediately turned his head, and immediately said in surprise: "Hey, Comrade Gu is you?"

When he saw that the other party was covered with luggage, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Comrade Gu, are you an educated youth?"

The corners of Gu Yanze's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded: "Uncle Song, I have been assigned to your brigade."

Song Shuanzhu's spirit was shaken, and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, you and our brigade are really destined."

"Hurry up, put your luggage on the carriage first, these old things are exhausting."

As he spoke, he grabbed the suitcase that Gu Yanze was carrying, turned around and walked to the side of the carriage in two or three steps, and put the suitcase on it carefully.

Fortunately, a layer of grass curtains was laid on the car board when I came here, otherwise, such a precious thing would not be worn out all the way down.

Gu Yanze put the luggage away, and immediately handed Song Shuanzhu and the handlebar two cigarettes respectively, and said, "Master, Uncle Song, come and have a cigarette."

The old man also likes to smoke a cigarette. Seeing that there are two big front doors as soon as he comes up, his hands trembled with excitement. After a polite sentence, he quickly reached out to take it.

Since Gu Yanze deliberately approached Song Shuanzhu during the building of the house, the two had already known each other for a long time, and it was natural to communicate at this time.

Gu Yanze took a puff of cigarette: "Uncle Song, go get busy and leave me alone."

Song Shuanzhu nodded with a smile: "Okay, we will leave when everyone is here."

After finishing speaking, he put the two cigarettes that he could not bear to smoke after smelling them again and again, and put them on his ears in the eyes of several envious and jealous team leaders nearby.
